J Urol. 1988 Jan;139(1):89-90. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)42302-0.

Abstract

We describe a 6-month-old male infant with a dermoid cyst of the left paratesticular region. To our knowledge, this represents the youngest patient reported with this rare benign teratoma. We advocate enucleation for this particular type of teratoma based on referenced histopathological criteria.
